Colts cornerback Vontae Davis, who has missed the last four games with an injured left knee, is expected to start Sunday at Detroit.
Interim coach Bruce Arians says safety Tom Zbikowski will not make the trip because of a right knee injury. Sergio Brown will likely replace Zbikowski in the starting lineup, and Brown will split time with backup Joe Lefeged.
Arians also says coach Chuck Pagano is starting his third and final round of chemotherapy Friday. Pagano has been on leave from the Colts (7-4) since being diagnosed with leukemia Sept. 26. Source: Associated Press Attached Thumbnails

Arians made comments about Suh that were in contrast to those made by Texans QB, Matt Schaub. Unlike Schaub, Arians doesn’t see Suh as a dirty player. He should [...]

Indianapolis Colts at Detroit Lions: Week 13 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (7-4) at Detroit Lions (4-7)
The Lions are in a bad spot and normally this is the type of team I like to stay away from. They are favorites after a loss as dogs and will next be dogs.
